Chicago Shenanigans

M took Geo on a road trip to Chicago for a chamber music camp. Along with his new cello, we took Snoopy, Buh, and a new addition to our plushy family, Sharky Joe, who hails from the Florida Keys. 


Geo had fun learning to play chamber music with a string quartet. 


M explored Evanston, which is a nice college town.


Geo and M (and Buh) also worked on a tricky puzzle.


We mostly ate stuff from Whole Foods but tried some local restaurants.



We had a lovely penthouse suite at the Hyatt House, which cost more than our mortgage but afforded us a fantastic view of the fireworks on the 4th of July.


The week ended with a fantastic finale concert. Geo is going to Portland for two weeks and D is flying to Chicago to drive M home. The summer is halfway over but there are still some more adventures to come.
